[VERGE] Google is launching a generative AI-enhanced version of Assistant

This is the best summary I could come up with:

During the Made by Google event, where it debuted new Pixel 8 and Pixel Watch 2 hardware, Google also announced it’s launching Assistant with Bard, which leverages generative AI to provide personalized assistance to users.

The company says the new AI-enhanced assistant can do things like help plan your next trip, find details in your email inbox, and even create a grocery list.

As an example of what the tool can do, Google says you can “float the Bard overlay on top” of a photo you want to post on social media and ask Assistant with Bard to create a caption.

This demo, which you can see above, even shows how Bard can come up with relevant hashtags to match the image.

Google notes that you “choose your individual privacy settings” as well.

Google is rolling it out to early testers “soon” before it arrives on Android and iOS “in the coming months.”

The original article contains 223 words, the summary contains 153 words. Saved 31%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Is this why assistant has been absolute garbage lately?
